EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""None so deaf as those who will not hear" (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an illustration by the English School. This engraving, part of a private collection, was originally created for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1842. The image depicts a scene that humorously highlights the theme of deafness and poverty. It reminds us of the saying "None so deaf as those who will not hear". The artist skillfully captures this concept through his clever portrayal of impoverished individuals who seem oblivious to their surroundings despite being surrounded by signs and symbols. This artwork serves as a reminder of the social issues prevalent during that time period. It sheds light on the challenges faced by marginalized communities and emphasizes the importance of philanthropy and charitable acts. The engraver's attention to detail adds depth to this humorous yet thought-provoking piece. Through its use of satire, this engraving offers commentary on society's attitudes towards poverty and hearing impairment in the 19th century. Its timeless message continues to resonate today, urging us all to listen with empathy and compassion towards those less fortunate than ourselves. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable glimpse into history through this fascinating print from their Fine Art Finder collection.
